A Message From Sheriff Whittington

Welcome to the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Training Academy, one of North Louisiana’s premier learning centers for law enforcement and emergency services personnel.

Since it first opened its doors in 2006, the Bossier Parish Sheriff's Training Academy has hosted seminars, workshops and regional training for all emergency services professionals throughout the nation. It is one of five regional north Louisiana P.O.S.T. -accredited Academies to offer Basic Law Enforcement Training and P.O.S.T. Refresher courses, for newly appointed and existing law enforcement personnel. The Academy jointly hosts classes with such respected agencies as the FBI, HIDTA, ROCIC, ROCTA and The Louisiana Office of Homeland Security, to name but a few.

The Bossier Parish Sheriff's Training Academy proudly partners with the Bossier Parish Community College, to ensure graduating recruits have the opportunity to obtain college credit for the courses they have completed while attending the P.O.S.T. Basic Law Enforcement Academy.
